Yes. OEM brand colors for aircraft interiors, avionics housings, and equipment panels require documented, repeatable color standards. We capture the target color by spectrophotometer, develop the Cerakote match to Delta E 1.5, and lock the formulation and process parameters into our AS9100 system. Every subsequent order is verified against the original standard. This ensures your brand color is consistent across parts, programs, and years.

Yes. Fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides contain aggressive chemical compounds that attack conventional paint and powder coat finishes. Cerakote's ceramic-polymer chemistry resists this chemical attack while maintaining color stability. ColoradoKote verifies color hold through chemical exposure as part of our quality process. For sprayer components and chemical application equipment, Cerakote provides both chemical protection and lasting color identification that conventional coatings cannot maintain in agricultural chemical environments.

AM parts require specialized blast parameters due to their inherent surface roughness and often delicate geometries. We blast SLS, MJF, and metal AM parts at 40-60 PSI, which reduces surface roughness from Ra 8-15 micrometers toward a more uniform profile without damaging lattice structures or thin walls. This controlled preparation is the foundation for Cerakote to reduce final surface roughness below 3 micrometers while adding corrosion and wear protection.

Defense electronics housings require coatings that protect against corrosion and field conditions without altering dimensions on mating surfaces, EMI gasket channels, and connector interfaces. Cerakote's 0.5 to 2 mil film build maintains these critical tolerances where powder coat's 4 to 6 mils would require masking or post-machining. Less coating mass also reduces weight on man-portable electronics and UAV-mounted systems.

Yes. Biofouling residue, salt crystal deposits, and marine corrosion products are effectively removed by ultrasonic cavitation combined with appropriate cleaning solution chemistry. The cavitation action breaks down biological films and mineralized deposits that resist manual scrubbing and solvent cleaning. For marine hardware being recoated, complete removal of biological and salt contamination is critical for coating adhesion and long-term corrosion protection in continued marine service.
